Quick attach Bipod options

[Robinhood]

I am looking for a quick attach bipod for my hunting rifle. I have an old school Harris the I keep in my pack but it is heavy and not quick to install. What are some options? Thanks fro any info

Spartan Precision Javelin. Spring for the tac legs if you can.

I looked at the Spartan Pro Hunt Tactical model and I like the concept, but the height was limited. They sell legs to attach and extend the height, but they are expensive and appeared time consuming to set up.

I really like my hatch bipod. Quick to attach/detach via a picatinny rail. Has all the adjustability from 6” to 27 or 36” depending on the model you want. Legs deploy quietly, easily adjust to what ever height you need. Weighs a little more than a pound. They’re made in idaho; the only down side is the price. They are expensive.

Another vote for spartan of an ultralight removeable bipod. Though if you will use it all year on the range as well, then atlas is the way to go.

Spartans are a nice unit.  I have a Javelin Lite that has mostly sat in my closet.  PM me if you're interested.

I like my quik stix for hunting. Has worked well for me.

I know this topic is quick attach bipod.
If I had a quick attach I might be more about it.
I've put one on the gun,then take off ,and put it on.
Any who I've just decided that I'll just shoot off a tripod if needed.
I've been trying out a new tripod for a few months.
The bog pod I had been using took a dump one day,so decided to give this one a try.
I'm really digging it. It will go very low to shoot prone.
It folds up small enough that it fits in a day pack.
Goes from tripod on the bottom,to mono on the top,I can still put my binos on it all that.

About half the cost of a bog pod.

Wiser precision clip and stixs combo especially if you already have the trekking poles

I really enjoy my Spartan Javelin. bought it this year and used it for muzzleloader elk, blacktail and Montana mule deer. Plus, even though they are a European company, they still offer mil/le/gov discount.

Listened to an old Shoot2Hunt podcast with the Spartan Precision owner and it sounded like they were working with Unknown Munitions on production in the US for the Javelin bipod. Not sure if that ever happened or is still in the works.

Reason I like it too is I just have to buy the one bipod. Then I can buy the $40 adapter/receiver for any other rifle and use the bipod on it too.

I used to use a Javelin, but didn’t really care for the slop in the magnetic mount, or the fact it was a pain to leave on my rifle if I wanted to since it doesn’t fold.

I don’t understand the “I only have to buy one bipod and then I can just put mounts on my other guns” argument for them.

With my Evolution (or other pic rail bipods), all I have to do is buy a $20 pic rail for all my rifles.

Heck, with a Harris, you can move it from rifle to rifle since they most likely all have a sling stud.

That's pretty much where I'm at too.
Sometimes I'm in the 100 yard timber sneaking.
Not gonna carry a bunch of stuff.
If I'm hunting clearcuts or open country then I throw the tripod in my day pack .

Yes the one cheapo I do have is a sling stud mount.

What's the difference? You're adding a mounting surface for the bipod either way.

I bought a cheap quick disconnect for my Harris and put a rail on my rifle.  I then bought a knockoff shorter bipod from Amazon and can slap one on in seconds for prone or sitting heights or shoot it off my pack with none.

I have the spartan and really like it.  I’ve always had a Harris attached to the sling stud    That said I rarely use a bipod while hunting when actually taking the shot.  Seems like there’s always a stump, tree branch or pickup hood that I end up using.   My logic on the sparten is if I’m going to lug around the extra weight of a bipod I don’t use why not have the lightest one availabe and have it out of the way    Probably doesn’t make the most sense but to each there own    I did just get a few more adaptors from Christensen’s Black Friday sale. 

I also ordered a bog death grip tripod from Cabelas Black Friday and this thing is huge.  Seems sturdy enough but heavy and bulky.  Definitely won’t be packing this thing around.   Contemplating returning it 

[hunter399]

I just seen Magpul sells a light weight bipod.
Not sure if it's plastic junk,or a diamond in the ruff.
I don't own one.....yet.
Looks like you can attach it ,in whatever way you order it.

You might consider ditching the front sling stud and going with a pic rail like this...

There are a lot of really good options for quick attach bipods with pic rail attachment from really cheap to really expensive. 

If you plan to also use a tripod SRS also makes several options for arca mounts.  I really like their stuff and I love the fact they are making them in the NorthWest!

Ive done harris and harris clones, the caldwell carbon fiber. Im in the spartan standard height right now and its great.  Looking at dollars per ounce its the best bang for the buck. You can get a lot more adjustment out of the gunwerks but its twice the cost and weighs a good bit more depending on which model of spartan you use.


I think the way to go for variations in hunts and set ups is to buy a standard spartan and add the tac legs after. You are still saving money vs buying the full TAC and you get a super ultralight option and an adjustable option.

Keep in mind bipods this light are now made for thousand yard consistency, youll be steadier with something heavier; same for the gun.

I used components from ESSTAC in stanwood and made a holster for my spartan that hangs off the passenger side of my butt stock. takes about 30# of pressure to rip it out but i can have it on the gun pretty quick and it's not in the way.

[furbearer365]

Snipe-pod is my choice. Very small adapters that attach to the gun, and very quick on and off. You can buy multiple adapters for any gun you wish, then use the same set of sticks.  For coyotes, they are 2nd to none due to their ability to pivot and use on uneven ground

Holster

[high_hunter]

+1 for the Spartan Javelin.  Recently started using it, quick & easy on/off, and like the idea that with several mounts it can go on about any rifle I own.

I don't like hunting with one attached but can keep it in my bino harness or a pack in case the right scenario or long-range shot comes into play with minimal weight penalty.  I like to run a safari-sling (boonie packer) so leaving anything else up front is just clunky.

Slick-looking holster there, I may have to look into that at some point.
